Journal 52 -week 4

This week is all about CHARACTER!

I cannot draw people :-( I really must practice!!!!

Anyway, my adventures in France continue....my husband has been moved from the hospital today...
Sadly not home to me, rather to a convalescence centre a few miles along the road from the hospital. This means that I still have a journey of about 90 minutes by car to get there :-( not a lot of fun when driving a "British style"  car on mountain roads with steep drops to the side!

Anyway, tomorrow I'm heading off with a girlfriend and Bailey (our golden retriever) to visit and also deliver some clothes as Bill will no longer be provided with a hospital gown. I also plan to take a flask of boiling water & tea bags as he really misses his cup of tea.

As I cannot do people and as I am having to call on all my reserves to be strong for the 2 of us....I have gone with my birth sign, the crab. Quite appropriate as I do slam the shutters down when I hurt, but I do think that I have a fair amount of tenacity & strength behind my armour...I've used a page out of the local telephone directory coloured with Promarkers , some watercolour pencils, a black Sharpie & a white Gelly Roll.

When I finally get back to the UK I shall no doubt work some more detail into these pages that I am creating with scant supplies. New additions this week: a rubber, a glue stick & a letter stencil!
